With Amazon Prime Day in its final hours, you can still score a great deal on a new bed. Many of the best Prime Day mattress deals feature models we've tested and slept on, including our top pick for 2025, the Helix Midnight Luxe, for 24% off.

There are tens of thousands of mattresses to shop at the e-tailer, and we recommend sticking with reputable brands and checking the fine print to ensure brand-specific trial periods and warranties still apply. It's also worth noting some brands are running concurrent sales with Prime Day, like Nectar and DreamCloud. For specific mattress-buying advice to help find your ideal fit, read our guides to the best mattresses on Amazon and the best mattresses of 2025. Helix Midnight Luxe (Queen): Now $1,799, Was $2,374 (24% Off)

Amazon Helix Midnight Luxe Mattress (Queen)
Our top pick for the best mattress of 2025 is available on Amazon, and it's on sale for Prime Day. That said, if you're nervous about purchasing a mattress on Amazon, you can alternatively shop on the Helix site and use code FORBES27 at checkout for 27% off. This hybrid bed features a medium firmness that hits the sweet spot for most sleepers, plus optional cooling technology upgrades to help prevent night sweats. We recommend this bed for a wide variety of people: side, back and combination sleepers, individuals under 250 pounds and those who sleep with a partner (though it's great for solo sleepers, too).
Why It's A Good Deal: Although the Amazon price of the Helix Midnight Luxe dipped down $1,780 in June, it has yet to surpass 27% off in 2025—including during mattress-centric deals events like Memorial Day and 4th of July.
The top recommendation in our best memory foam mattresses story, the newly upgraded Nectar Premier is cooler than the Nectar Classic (below) and offers a medium feel plus a cushy pressure relief layer. Between its contouring feel, affordable price point, impressive 365-night trial period and forever warranty, this is an excellent choice for first-time memory foam buyers who want the full experience with little risk. (Just note: While the trial period and warranty are mentioned on the Amazon listing, it's best to check with the brand directly to make sure these still apply when purchased through Amazon.) Other similar mattresses on sale include the old version of the Nectar Premier, at just $659 for a queen, or the Nectar Premier Hybrid, which offers more support and better airflow, at $934 for a queen.
Why It's A Good Deal: This is the lowest price we've seen for the Nectar Premier on Amazon, though it's about the same on the Nectar website.
Another well-reviewed mattress from our sleep team, the Nectar Classic is the brand's entry-level model. While it doesn't offer frills like added cushion or extra cooling fibers, its medium-firm feel is ideal for back, stomach and combination sleepers. (That said, exclusive side sleepers under 150 pounds should consider a plusher version, like the Premier or the Luxe.) Like the Premier, featured above, the Classic comes with a 365-night sleep trial and forever warranty, but it's best to check with the brand to make sure these still apply with Amazon purchases. This bed is also available as a hybrid version, which is a combination of coils and foams, that's currently $679 for a queen. We recommend the latter for those who want more support—plus, hybrids tend to sleep cooler.
Why It's A Good Deal: While its price briefly plunged to $390 last November, this is the second-lowest price we've seen it listed for.
If you're a hot sleeper and need a moderate level of support from both springs and memory foam, you may find the Sapira Hybrid from Forbes Vetted editor-favorite brand Leesa to your liking. Also, it's discounted by $300 this Prime Day. This mattress is 11 inches thick and features perforated and pressure-relieving foams atop pocketed springs that naturally allow air to flow through.
Why It's A Good Deal: This is the lowest price we've seen on this mattress on Amazon since December 2024. If you're looking for something slightly thicker and more temperature regulating, however, the Leesa Sapira Chill (our pick for the best hybrid mattress overall) is currently on sale for 30% off on the brand's website.
Although the Casper Original memory foam mattress has been replaced by the newer Casper One on the brand's website, it remains available on Amazon—and we've spent a lot of time with it in order to write up our full review. The verdict? It's a worthy contender for those who want a memory foam mattress at a fair price. It's also 31% off this Prime Day.
Why It's A Good Deal: This is the lowest price we've seen for this mattress on Amazon in 2025.
Named among our favorite mattresses on Amazon, the Brooklyn Bedding Select Gel Memory Foam Hybrid Mattress provides a medium-firm feel that's a good choice for many back and stomach sleepers. Because of its combination of memory foam and coils, it can hug your curves and provide a decent amount of pressure relief but doesn't lack durability. It also features gel-infused foam to help regulate body temperature as you sleep, making it a solid pick for hot sleepers as well. Note: This bed is available only at third-party retailers like Amazon.
Why It's A Good Deal: This is the lowest recorded price we've seen for this mattress.

We've been reviewing DreamCloud's beds for a few years now, and the Premier Hybrid is a tried-and-true pick that's known for its cushy-yet-supportive feel that's ideal for back and combo sleepers. Snag the 'original version' of this bed on Amazon for extra savings (price featured); it includes a cashmere-blend cover and gel-infused foam unlike the newer model. While it's no longer featured on our best lists, save for our best mattresses on Amazon roundup, this mattress is a decent choice for budget shoppers or occasionally used beds in guest rooms.
Why It's A Good Deal: This is the lowest price we've seen for the DreamCloud Premier on Amazon.
We've evaluated beds from Zinus to determine our list of the best mattresses on Amazon and found that the brand's extremely affordable prices belie its models' effectiveness. With a medium feel that's particularly supportive for side sleepers, the Zinus Cloud includes four foam layers engineered to relieve pressure points. And at less than $300 during Prime Day, it's one of the best values you'll find for a memory foam mattress that's fiberglass-free and backed by third-party safety certifications like CertiPUR-US and Oeko-Tex 100.
Why It's A Good Deal: This bed dipped to its lowest price ever during Prime Day and though it's now inched back up toward its average sale price, it's still 30% off right now.
Our top overall pick in our best mattresses on Amazon roundup, this ultra-affordable bed is ideal for a guest room or anyone working with a tighter budget. It features a medium-plush feel that's ideal for side sleepers, individuals under 250 pounds or anyone who likes extra cushioning. We appreciate that the foam is CertiPUR-US certified, meaning it's made without certain chemicals and has low VOCs.
Why It's A Good Deal: It's the lowest price we've seen on this model since April, coming within $26 of its all-time lowest price for 2025.
Sealy is a well-known name in mattresses, and we've tested a number of the brand's beds (both from the original brand and its Cocoon collection). You can find a handful of Sealy beds on Amazon, including the Dreamlife, which is designed with a layer of cooling gel memory foam that contours to your body and relieves pressure. This bed offers a medium feel, making it a solid choice for back, side and combination sleepers.
Why It's A Good Deal: Because of their larger dimensions, king-size mattresses are generally among the most expensive beds you can buy. That said, this Amazon deal significantly cuts that price down; it's the lowest we've ever seen for this bed.
Forbes Vetted editors are fans of the Tuft & Needle brand, and many of its offerings have landed on our lists of top beds. The Kin By Tuft & Needle Adaptive Foam Mattress is only available on Amazon and is selling at a pretty deep 29% discount for Prime Day. Unlike some mattresses you can find on the retailer, this contouring-foam pick comes with a decent ten-year warranty. We recommend it for back and stomach sleepers, as the medium-firm feel may be too unforgiving for side sleepers. Despite the less than $500 sale price, it's fiberglass free and comes with multiple environmental and safety certifications, such as Greenguard-Gold and CertiPUR-US.
Why It's A Good Deal: For Amazon Prime Day, it's priced at only a few dollars more than the mattress' lowest ever price, which was back in late 2024.
We put the Siena Memory Foam Mattress through comprehensive testing with six members of our team, all with various body types and sleep preferences. Thanks to its support and lifted feel, this mattress proved to be a top choice for back, stomach and combination sleepers who enjoy a firm bed—it's denser than other memory foam mattresses we tested, like the Nectar Premier , with less sinkage. It also tested well for motion isolation, meaning couples can toss and turn without disturbing each other.
Why It's A Good Deal: This is the lowest price we've ever seen on this model.
Plush and pressure relieving, the Tuft & Needle Mint Hybrid is the best soft mattress we've tested in 2025. It has a doughy, memory foam-like feel that doesn't trap you in bed—it's a little bouncy and responsive thanks to its coils underneath. These qualities make it a nice option for many side and back sleepers, as well as individuals with shoulder and hip pain concerns. It's also fairly cooling, thanks to its numerous temperature regulation features, hence the 'mint' in its name.
Why It's A Good Deal: Although this isn't the lowest price we've seen on the Mint Hybrid, the current Amazon sale offers significant savings on one of the best mattresses currently on the market. You can also get the same deal on the Tuft & Needle website.
The Serta Perfect Sleeper is available in both medium and firm options on Amazon, with the firm being at the steepest discount. This mattress features stronger coils around the perimeter and in the center of the bed, offering you extra support where you need it most. Though there aren't many reviews on Amazon, you can read more on Serta's site. Senior mattress and sleep editor Bridget Chapman has tested models from the Perfect Sleeper collection and found them to be a great value.
Why It's A Good Deal: This is the lowest price we've seen on the Perfect Sleeper Hybrid Mattress.
The Serta Five Star Collection is a newer launch from the brand. You can choose from different heights and firmness levels along with the option to have a pillow top. Though our team hasn't tested them yet, these mattresses have already received a lot of positive reviews online—and we find Serta Simmons, the parent company, to be reputable.
Why It's A Good Deal: This mattress line launched this spring, so it doesn't have an extensive price history. That said, this is the first time we're seeing it discounted this low.
As Amazon hosts its Prime Day event this year, other brands are holding sales to compete with the retail giant's discounts. Here are some of our favorite mattress companies that are also offering deals if you shop directly through their sites.

Do Mattresses Go On Sale During Prime Day?
Yes, mattresses are included in Amazon's Prime Day sales event. You can find impressive deals on select models from popular brands including Purple, Casper, Nectar and Helix, all of which can be delivered directly to your door.
What Is The Best Month To Buy A Mattress?
The best month to buy a mattress is typically May, as many retailers slash prices as they prepare to roll out their new inventory in June. However, major shopping holidays including President's Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day—and yes, even Amazon Prime Day—are a great time to snag a high-quality mattress for less than its usual listing price.
Is Amazon A Good Place To Buy Mattresses?
If convenience is your top priority, then Amazon is a great place to buy a mattress. Many models can be securely delivered in just a few days, thanks to Prime shipping. Shopping on Amazon also makes it easy to quickly compare options from multiple brands. Just keep in mind that mattress warranties can differ when you purchase through Amazon instead of directly through the brand.
What Is The Highest Rated Mattress On Amazon?
Right now, the highest-rated, top overall pick and best-selling mattress on Amazon is the Zinus 12-Inch Cooling Comfort Hybrid Mattress. As a hybrid with a medium feel, composed of both coils and foam layers, and also infused with cooling gel, it's an affordable option with wide-ranging appeal. It's earned both CertiPUR-US and Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certifications, so it's also constructed from safe materials with no harmful chemicals.

NFLPA reportedly backs union head Lloyd Howell Jr. amid collusion scandal, union's reported involvement in covering it up

Amid a collusion scandal in which the NFLPA reportedly helped cover up NFL efforts to suppress guaranteed money in player contracts, the union's executive committee is backing executive director Lloyd Howell Jr. In a memo that was leaked to multiple NFL reporters Sunday, the NFLPA's executive committee "categorically" rejected reports "insinuating doubts within this committee" or that it had asked Howell to step down from his role as executive director. Advertisement From the leaked memo: 'As members of the NFLPA Executive Committee, we categorically reject false reports insinuating doubts within this committee or suggestions that we have asked our Executive Director to step down. We further reject attempts to mischaracterize the committee's views or divide our membership. "We have established a deliberate process to carefully assess the issues that have been raised and will not engage in a rush to judgement. We believe in and remain committed to working with our Executive Director and other members of NFLPA staff and player leadership who have a shared mission to advance the best interests of players. As we approach the 2025 season, we look forward to continuing our important work together and ensuring the strength and unity of our association.' The memo was issued in the wake of multiple explosive reports regarding alleged organized efforts from NFL leadership and owners to stifle guaranteed pay in player contracts. Reports: NFLPA helped conceal details of alleged NFL collusion In June, journalist Pablo Torre uncovered a 61-page ruling by arbitrator Christopher Droney that previously was not made public and whose details had reportedly been withheld from NFL players by the NFLPA. Droney's ruling determined that league executives including commissioner Roger Goodell urged team owners to reduce guaranteed player compensation in the wake of a $230 million fully guaranteed contract between the Cleveland Browns and quarterback Deshaun Watson. Advertisement In his ruling, Droney determined that the NFLPA showed "by a clear preponderance of the evidence" that Goodell and NFL general counsel Jeff Pash urged teams to reduce guaranteed money in player contracts. 'There is little question that the NFL Management Council, with the blessing of the Commissioner, encouraged the 32 NFL Clubs to reduce guarantees in veterans' contracts at the March 2022 annual owners' meeting," Droney's ruling reads, per Torre. In spite of that conclusion, Droney ruled in favor of the NFL, declaring that he could not prove by a "clear preponderance" that NFL teams acted on that advice. Since Watson's deal, multiple high-level quarterbacks including two-time league MVP Lamar Jackson, have signed contracts that did not come with fully guaranteed money. What the NFLPA reportedly hid from players On July 9, ESPN reported that the players' union worked in tandem with the league to hide crucial details of the arbitration ruling from players, including Droney's conclusion that NFL management "encouraged the 32 NFL Clubs to reduce guarantees in veterans' contracts." Advertisement Instead, per the report, Howell informed players of the broad strokes of the ruling, including that Droney ultimately ruled in favor of the NFL. Why Howell and the NFLPA would have done this is not clear. From the ESPN report: "Howell informed the committee that the NFLPA had lost its collusion grievance but did not share any details of Droney's findings or share copies of the ruling with the players. Instead, he blamed his predecessor, DeMaurice Smith, for wasting resources on the three-year legal battle." Reported conflict of interest for Howell emerges Placing Howell under further scrutiny, ESPN reported on July 10 that Howell is working as a part-time consultant for the Carlyle Group, an NFL-approved private equity firm seeking minority ownership in NFL franchises. The report exposes a clear conflict of interest for the man in charge of representing players in negotiations with league owners. "It would be an outrageous conflict for the head of a labor union to have an interest in a third party that is aligned with the NFL," former NFLPA counsel Jim Quinn told ESPN. "The relationship between a labor organization and the employer organization is adversarial by definition, and as a result, as a leader, you have to be absolutely clear and clean as to having no even appearance of conflict." Since those reports, Torre reported that a petition has circulated among NFLPA staff and NFL players calling for Howell's resignation from the NFLPA. It's not clear who organized the petition or if any players or NFLPA staff members had signed it. Advertisement Howell has not publicly addressed any of the reports since they've been published and declined comment to ESPN regarding the Carlyle Group report.

Apple iPhone 17 Release Date: New Clue Revealed In Latest Leak

Last month, I assessed exactly when the next iPhone series, would go on sale. Now, Mark Gurman from Bloomberg has had his say. Happily, it's along the same lines, so perhaps we can begin to be confident when the iPhone will land. Apple iPhone 16: when will the iPhone 17 go on sale, exactly? In the latest edition of his Power On newsletter, Gurman seeks to answer the question: 'When will Apple hold its iPhone 17 launch event?' Although he went into much less detail than my report (and I admit it, brevity is the soul of wit), he lighted on similar dates. 'The company usually unveils its new iPhones the week after Labor Day. If that holds — and there's no reason to believe it won't — you can pencil in the keynote for the week of Sept. 8,' he began. This continues to make sense to me: the week before would be when the large-scale electronics trade show IFA takes place in Berlin and it's already thought that there will be some big announcements there. Apple won't want to share the spotlight with the myriad other brands popping up in Berlin. 'In the past, Apple has typically favored Tuesdays, but there have been some exceptions in recent years,' Gurman goes on. He's referring to the fact that last year's event, against most people's expectations, including his, was held on a Monday. I'm quietly delighted that I did report the right date in advance. Forgive me a moment of glee, please. 'So it could be that Monday (the 8th), though I suspect the 9th or 10th is probably more likely. Apple never holds events on Fridays, so you can rule out the 12th, and it has avoided launching new products on Sept. 11,' Gurman concludes. This is the new information here. I had only briefly considered the Monday, but Gurman is giving it more credence. However, we both think that Tuesday 9 or Wednesday 10 are more likely. As I said before, my money is on the keynote happening on Tuesday, Sept. 9 at 10 a.m. Pacific in the Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino. Gurman only talks about the keynote, but when will the onsale date be? I still think the iPhone 17 series will go on sale on Friday, Sept.19.

NFLPA executive committee backs director Lloyd Howell following concerns about conflict of interest

The NFL Players Association executive committee sent a message to members in support of executive director Lloyd Howell Jr. on Sunday, following recent reporting that Howell is a paid, part-time consultant for a private equity firm approved by the NFL to pursue minority ownership stakes in franchises. Advertisement ESPN first reported Howell's role with the firm, The Carlyle Group, but on Thursday, sources with knowledge of the situation told The Athletic they disputed details in the ESPN report that an NFLPA attorney advised Howell to consider resigning from the firm. 'As members of the NFLPA Executive Committee, we categorically reject false reports insinuating doubts within this committee or suggestions that we have asked our Executive Director to step down,' read the message sent Sunday by the NFLPA executive committee, which was obtained by The Athletic. 'We further reject attempts to mischaracterize the committee's views or divide our membership. We have established a deliberate process to carefully assess the issues that have been raised and will not engage in a rush to judgment. 'We believe in and remain committed to working with our Executive Director and other members of the NFLPA staff and player leadership who have a shared mission to advance the best interests of players.' Howell joined The Carlyle Group in March 2023 to work in the firm's aerospace and defense divisions, sources told The Athletic, months before the NFLPA hired him in June of that year. The NFL would not approve private equity minority investors until August 2024. Two sources with knowledge of the NFLPA's selection and hiring process told The Athletic that NFLPA leadership knew about Howell's work with the private equity firm, and that the union's legal team and an independent search firm vetted Howell to ensure there were no conflicts of interest. Later, when it was clear The Carlyle Group would have the chance to invest in the NFL, four sources with knowledge of the situation said discussions took place about Howell's role with the firm, including with members of the legal teams for the NFLPA and The Carlyle Group. The sources said that the legal teams determined that Howell's work with aerospace and defense was far enough removed from the part of The Carlyle Group that would work with the NFL. Advertisement In a statement Friday, The Carlyle Group said that Howell's role is separate from the firm's work with the league. 'Lloyd had no access to information about the NFL and Carlyle process beyond public news reports due to strict Carlyle information barriers in place,' a spokesperson said. Howell's work with The Carlyle Group is the latest headline involving the NFLPA and its leadership. Earlier this month, ESPN and 'Pablo Torre Finds Out' reported, and a union source confirmed, that the NFLPA had a confidentiality agreement with the NFL to hide information in an arbitration agreement, finding that league executives pushed team ownership to reduce guaranteed player compensation. The arbitrator ruled in January that there was not enough evidence of collusion, but ESPN reported, and the source confirmed, that the NFLPA now plans to appeal the ruling.
